The banking story of the CO2 Pipeline

We are losing life, one plant at a time

HOUSTON! We have a problem. Could there be a more well-known distress signal in a few short words? Let’s go back to our grade school science books for a moment. Carbon dioxide, a healthy element of nature, is required to produce plant growth. In fact, the book read something like this from the Khan Academy:

Photosynthetic organisms, including plants, algae, and some bacteria, play a key ecological role. They introduce chemical energy and fixed carbon into ecosystems by using light to synthesize sugars. Since these organisms produce their own food—that is, fix their own carbon—using light energy, they are called photoautotrophs (literally, self-feeders that use light).

In a nutshell, carbon dioxide enables life; without it all life will cease to exist. In fact, I can now make a very good case that the more carbon dioxide we have in the atmosphere. The more life that will follow. Currently, we have 443 parts per million of CO2. What if we had 450 or even 500? We would have more life period.

Instead. we see the race to bury CO2 under the earth’s surface in what they are calling “carbon capture”. Ethanol plants and coal-fired power plants are being held hostage and told that their only path forward involves capturing CO2 and putting it in one of the 3 proposed CO2 pipelines that traverse over 2,300 miles just in the US alone. Here come the problems.

The very same lawmakers in states that are currently talking about ramping up laws against China buying farmland, are now caving to campaign contributions from Bruce Rastetter, the owner of Summit Agriculture Group and Summit Carbon Solutions, who has been contracted for the majority of the proposed pipeline.

I must admit that I have personally known Bruce for nearly 30 years, back to his Heartland Pork days in the corn belt. I have had county officials call me from Iowa and Nebraska. asking questions about Summit Agriculture Group once again aggressively seeking to permit swine finishing barns. One interesting tidbit about that, there seems to be a tie to Farmland Foods in each of the barns. As a reminder, Farmland Foods is owned by Smithfield Foods who is owned by the WH Group of Hong Kong.

I now have in my possession of a report that has been submitted to Congressional and Executive staff from Tom Jones of the American Accountability Foundation which outlines Bruce Rastetter’s China business dealings in Brazil. I have read the report and it clearly ties Summit’s ethanol facilities in Brazil to China Development Bank, an arm of the China Communist Party. Not only that tie through Brazilian ethanol but also a clear financial tie to BlackRock, instrumental in creating the demand for carbon trading schemes through banking ESG scores.

More importantly, I don’t believe they ever plan to bury this CO2, but rather this is an elaborate scheme to steal farmland and this valuable commodity (CO2) through eminent domain lawsuits.

Then to really make things interesting, on May 15, 2023 Summit Agriculture Group and Honeywell, the jet engine manufacturer, announced a joint venture for an ethanol plant in the heart of “corn” country on the U.S. Gulf Coast. I recognize that sugar is also a feedstock for ethanol, but I am more intrigued by their location to easy access to foreign shipment areas on the Gulf of Mexico.

In Sept of 2022, the U.S. Air Force actually flew a fighter jet with some new level of technology. Anyone like to guess what the fuel was that made the puppy fly?

All guesses for CO2 win a prize.

People, read the bold print; forget about the fine print because nobody is trying to hide anything:

NEW YORK, Sept. 22, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Air Company, the world's leading carbon technology company that creates carbon-negative alcohols and fuels from Carbon Dioxide (CO 2 ), today announced the launch of its Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) made from captured CO 2 . 

It appears that I keep learning of another valuable use for the commodity CO2 beyond fueling plants to generate glucose. It appears there is a serious play on to monopolize the CO2 supply before the word really gets out that it is key to healthy living in our future. The really sad part of this story is that the very farmers who are being held hostage for producing CO2 emissions are also being told they need to eliminate 30% of their food production or else.

Folks, we are the “or else.” How long will we sit back and let the breath be removed from us, one plant at a time?
